Rationalization

So I have been thinking about the past few weeks of my experience with women in that time frame and the "real" reason that I am still single.

I have come to this rationalization that why women will not take a chance with me as a dating partner is fear. Not that I am scary, or scary looking for the most part, but that I am a sharing, open, intelligent, thoughtful and creative person.

The fear is that perhaps my expectations would be so high that they are not worthy of my attention. Or that because it appears I am saying the right things, what if I am actually a manipulative bastard trying to take advantage of them. Or that I have thoughts and ideas so beyond their understanding that I am actually quite boring and fear I can never converse on "their" level.

What I have noticed a lot, is that most women I have tried to court say they are not ready for a relationship. Within a week or two, they are in a relationship. Go fig. Just not with me. :)

Anyway, I have two choices in the matter. I can keep plugging away and hope someone can see past their fear and give me a chance, hence my need for rationalization. Or, I could accept that I really am a pathetic, undateable loser, aka just a friend, and suffer my miserable life alone.

I guess being optimistic can have it's advantages. :)
